No, haven't you seen that its hazel? Otherwise they are very similar. I will continue today with tillering as these past few days haven't got time.
JNystrom:
Thanks Bob, those corrections make sense! I think i will tiller it up to 27-28" lowering the weight to 110, then toast the belly, and finish to 30".
FilipT: Oh i didn't get you meant the bow on the works! You should post some pictures, so we could see!

Slightly off the main topic, but I am not familiar with the term wich. Is the emphasis on the Y, as wYch elm, the I as in candle wIck, Or as in witch, or wick? As an adjective, what does it mean? This is my learn something new every day. Thanks, Hawkdancer
FilipT:
I think you pronounce it like "witch" but I am not sure.

It is wych elm - Ulmus glabra. It is also known as Scotch Elm/Scots Elm. It is the only true native British Elm. Fortunately there is loads around here but most places it is hard to find after Dutch Elm disease.
